Device for controlling the representation of information

Abstract

A device for controlling the representation of information on a vehicle screen includes an actuator which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis and deflected transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis. The portion ( 2 ) of the information which is represented on the vehicle screen displaced by a deflection movement of the actuator transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (z), and discrete markable elements can be marked by a rotational movement of the actuator about the longitudinal axis. The information includes the discrete markable elements.

         10 . A device for controlling the representation of information on a vehicle screen, comprising an actuator about a longitudinal axis (z) and movable transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (z), wherein a portion of the information is represented on the vehicle screen and is displaced by a deflection movement of the actuator transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis z, and wherein discrete markable elements can be marked by a rotational movement of the actuator about the longitudinal axis (z), wherein the information comprises the discrete markable elements.  
     
     
         11 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein each one of the marked discrete markable elements is selected by moving the actuator axially with respect to the longitudinal axis (z).  
     
     
         12 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the information is provided in a lateral representation, wherein the portion of the page represented on the vehicle screen is smaller than a page size.  
     
     
         13 . The device as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein finished pages are received from outside the vehicle via a communications device and can be represented on the vehicle screen.  
     
     
         14 . The device as claimed in  claim 13 , characterized in that the finished pages are Internet pages.  
     
     
         15 . The device as claimed in one of  claim 13 , wherein each one of the discrete markable elements comprises a reference to one of at least one further page and at least one image.  
     
     
         16 . The device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein selection of the reference represents the said one of at least one further page and at least one image on the vehicle screen.  
     
     
         17 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the information are messages which are received from outside the vehicle.  
     
     
         18 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein each one of the discrete markable element comprises a telephone number or an address.  
     
     
         19 . The device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the information is provided in a lateral representation, wherein the portion of the page represented on the vehicle screen is smaller than a page size.  
     
     
         20 . The device as claimed in one of claims  13 , wherein each one of the discrete markable elements comprises a reference to one of at least one further page and at least one image.  
     
     
         21 . The device as claimed in one of claims  14 , wherein each one of the discrete markable elements comprises a reference to one of at least one further page and at least one image.  
     
     
         22 . The device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the information are messages which are received from outside the vehicle.
